Dear Ms. or Mr. Myth of Germany,

A fundamental principle of diplomatic relations is the treatment of one anther's nationals. What you raise is an issue for bilateral relations among sovereign states.

In the United States, it is the law of the land that when a naturalized American citizen has been found in a court of law to have lied on his or her immigration application, the USA may institute proceedings for deportation. For example, there was a time when immigrants lied about their Nazi or Communist background. When discovered, such individuals face being stripped of their citizenship first. Perjury on such papers constitutes fraud against the United States of America.

In the case of Tunisia, you need to find out what treaty arrangements Germany has in place which would require Tunisia accept the forced deportation (return) of one of its nationals/citizens.
